RIDE Solutions & Friends of Blue Ridge Bike Rack Donation Program

Application to solicite a bike rack

Application

The current application/solicitation will run from January through February 2025.

We anticipate that bike rack production will be completed by June of 2025.

RVARC  may reach out to certain public or non-profit organizations may be solicited to determine if they are interested in a bike rack.

Location / Applicant Selection

Applications will be reviewed and accepted based on demonstrated need in the application, the applicant’s address, the proposed location of the bike rack within the applicant’s address, and capacity for applicant to install the bike rack (including transporting from storage location). As stated above, part of the goal of the program is to equitably distribute bike racks throughout the FBR/RVARC service area.

Cost

FBR/RVARC are making the bike racks free for public institutions and community-based organizations. For private entities, the cost of the bike rack will be negotiated based on the proposed location, planned use, and demonstrated need. Bike rack installation costs, and logistics are the responsibility of receiving organizations, whether public, non-profit, or private.
